Trams in Ljubljana

The trams had a driver cab on either side, which meant no turntables were needed as they were able to drive the other way at a terminus point.

The city then purchased fifteen pieces of new rolling stock; nine of these trams were locally made in the depot.

From this point onwards, Slovenian engineer Feliks Lobe oversaw the tramway's new projects and expansions.

This expansion resulted in the tramway reaching a combined length of thirteen miles with 53 trams and nineteen unpowered trailers.

The trams had bilingual signs, the timetable was adjusted to limit nighttime services, and there was a shortage of replacement parts.

After the second World War, the city tried to modernise the tram tracks and rolling stock, even though the tramway started to fall out of fashion with the locals.

The tram tracks were demolished very quickly and the remaining usable rolling stock was sold to the cities of Osijek and Subotica, where they served for a few more years.

It would focus on the Celovška, Dunajska, Šmartinska, Zaloška, Barjanska, and Tržaška roads as they all meet near the city centre.
